SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe e.V. is a live music club, i.e. we organize and host live concerts by national and international artists, with acts from the region in particular being an integral part of our programme. We are not limited to a specific genre - rock, electro, ska, metal, pop, hip hop, reggae, blues - everything is welcome. We are open to a lot - if it suits us. We have no place for homophobia, sexism, racism and discrimination in any form. In addition to concerts, our program also includes regular parties. An important part of our work is the promotion of the local music scene and so we dedicate ourselves to up-and-coming musicians by offering many performance opportunities for regional acts. We organize band coaching, seminars, workshops and the NEW.BANDS.FESTIVAL together with other partners in the Popnetz network.
SUBSTAGE is a non-profit organization. This means that we do not work commercially. Our team of permanent employees is small and without the support of many mini-jobbers and freelancers, we would not be able to keep the club running. ♥
We opened our second stage on the upper floor in 2016, where we offer music and culinary delights in the "bar, cucina e musica" MINESTRONE (formerly "Substage Cafe"). Concerts are held here regularly and the local scene presents itself at "Karlsunruhe". Thousands of bands have performed at SUBSTAGE since 1990, including many legends, and we are working to ensure that many more will follow. Thanks to all those who have been with us for a long time and a warm "hello" to all the newcomers: We look forward to seeing you!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to pay by card at SUBSTAGE itself - so remember to bring enough cash with you. However, you can also pay by EC card at MINESTRONE.
Yes, both SUBSTAGE and MINESTRONE are barrier-free. Persons with a severely disabled person's ID B pay the regular admission fee, the accompanying person is free and does not need an extra ticket.
SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe is located at the "Tullastraße/ Alter Schlachthof" stop - so it is easy to reach by public transport. SUBSTAGE does not have its own parking spaces. Normally you can park on the surrounding grounds of the former slaughterhouse - otherwise the bicycle is also a good alternative to get to SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe.
Of course you don't have to lug your winter jacket around for the whole event - but be quick, if the cloakroom is full, there is no alternative. The checkroom is guarded at all times and there is a storage fee of 1.50 euros per jacket or bag.
Of course, every experience and every event varies - so there is no clear-cut answer. But before the event takes place, you can use the following as a guide:
Ticket purchase
There are several ways to purchase tickets for the events in advance:
Vouchers for concerts at Substage: Can't decide which concert you want to attend or are you looking for a gift? No problem, there are also vouchers for tickets.
Please also note the admission and youth protection rules!
Reservation: Sometimes it is also possible to reserve tickets for the Box Office, in which case there is a "Reservations" button at the respective event. Fill in the reservation form here and confirm the desired ticket reservation via the link sent by e-mail. The reserved tickets will be returned to the Box Office 30 minutes after admission. Most events are excluded from the reservation option. It is generally not possible to reserve advance tickets, please simply use the advance booking service.
Persons with a Karlsruhe Pass pay 50% of the box office price upon presentation.
Admission regulations
First of all: SUBSTAGE Karlsruhe is sorry for every guest they have to turn away. Please note: Re-entry is only possible with a valid stamp.
In principle, everyone is welcome, but in some cases admission may be refused:
